Tufted ; scapes 1-2 in. crowded stouter than those of TT. orbiculata. Pedicels 

 0-J in. Flowers pale-flesh colour, throat yellow. Seeds not seen. — Allied to TT. 

 orbiculata, from which it diflers at first sight by the much smaller flowers.

 narrower than broad, purple pink or white, not distinctly yellow. Seeds obovoid, 

 glochidiate, as of U. orbiculata. — Known in the field from 'U. orbiculata by the 

 smaller, less yellow, flowers. 



Vae. minor; scapes J-1 in. very slender 1-3-fld. — Temp. Sikkim; Lachen, 

 J. D. M. Khasia Mts., Boga Pani, J. D. S. These examples were the type of XT. 

 farcellata, Oliver ; the plentiful arrival of subsequent material -shows the " larger 

 Darjeeling form" referred to by Oliver to be the fairly developed state of the 

 species.

Eesembling altogether TJ. furcellata; but the lower lip of the corolla is 5-lobed, 

 the spur shorter. The young seeds are ellipsoid, smooth, scabrous-papillose at each 

 end ; the ripe seeds have at their end tufts of capillary hairs as long as the seed.
